FishNET Digital Mapping Technology to Fight Coastal Threats

1. FishNETDigital Mapping Technology to Fight Coastal Threats Shah Selbe With support from Stanford University and the Center for Ocean Solutions

2. The FishNET Solution A map-based, integrated data collection and management tool to track, monitor, and analyze coastal threats • An integrated, web-based information platform incorporating: • Real-time user input • Inexpensive detection solutions • Input from existing systems • Aimed at stopping destructive and/or illegal activities in our oceans • Allows for global tracking and monitoring analytics for targeted enforcement solutions by coastal protection organizations cloud

3. Intelligent Solutions to Location-Based Coastal Threats are needed • Location-specific threats have • far-reaching implications on: • Environment • Economy • Marine Spatial Planning • Human Rights • Food Security • Treaties and International Regulations Illegal Fishing & Overfishing Ecosystem Destruction Pollution & dumping Resource Misuse Trespassing & Trafficking Effective monitoring, control, and surveillance is the key to eliminating these threats from harming our coasts

4. Intelligent Solutions to Location-Based Coastal Threats are needed Old Methods: New Approach: cloud Governing organizations at the local-, national-, regional- and international-levels have a clear incentive to collaborate

5. FishNET Benefits • Low cost and high scalability • High network effects and data integrity capabilities • Promotion of improved data standards for tracking ocean threats • Multiple avenues of data input and reporting • Prosecution tool to stop repeat offenders • Utilizes existing technologies and can incorporate data feeds from developing technologies

6. Current Capabilities:User and Community Input System: Data Collected: Input Methods: FishNET Record: Infraction info Location Time/Date Vessel info Including: Pictures Video GPS info Other metadata Call-in hotline Mobile phone SMS integration Smartphone app FishNET website APIs cloud Crowd-sourcing of reporting expands capacity beyond coastal enforcement organizations

7. Current Capabilities:Data Coordination and Integration Data Types: • Comprehensive record based on infraction type or vessel • Incorporate existing legacy systems • Allow for input from new systems • Real-time visualization and analytics for: • Targeted patrolling • Enforcement • Prosecution of offenders • Working with relevant partner organizations to ensure scalability, usability, and focus FishNET RFMO data Vessel Registry VMS data Position Reports Licenses National databases Current Systems Existing databases Port Inspection Observer Reports Catch Logs MCS data cloud

8. Current Capabilities FishNET baseline: • Next Steps: • Integration of other data sources • Verification and reputability technologies • Additional monitoring technologies incorporated • Addition of information from current legacy systems • Implementation plan and a directed marketing strategy

9. Risk Analysis Risks are minimal and manageable
